Thank you for visiting the Richland County Health Department website. We are excited about the work that public health does in our county. Everyone is affected by our work done in assessment, assurance and policy development. As you look through our website you will see the many projects and programs that we support which are needed to assure a healthy county. The Richland County Health Department strives for excellence in public health through our continual assessment of community needs, resource devolvement, program development and evaluation.

As part of our efforts, we recently jointly hosted the 2nd Annual "State of the Community" County-Wide Conference on January 23rd, 2009 with the Richland County Planner and City/County Planning Board. For information, please visit the Planner Office website.

Our vision of public health flows from the national vision of “Healthy People Healthy Communities.” To assure that we meet this vision, the Richland County Health Department (RCHD) is dedicated to cultivating individual and community involvement in all aspects of our health, safety and wellness by empowering people to capitalize on available resources to achieve our highest quality of life.

We are very interested in your thoughts regarding public health in Richland County and I invite you to contact me at 433-2207 or jlapan@richland.org.
